Overview

This project is no longer active.

This is a Twitter online tracker of the Chilean referendum for a new Constitution in October 2020, which contains merged and daily data sets on #Apruebo and #Rechazo viewpoints on this social media.

The newest data sets were collected in February 2023 in JSON format. The original data sets in CSV UTF-8 were scraped and uploaded regularly. Some of the variables are date, hour, username, tweet text, RT count, fav count, location, among others. The data were collected during the afternoon each day. A couple of exceptions, such as October 6th and 26th, 2020, were collected early morning on the following day. This is not an issue because the data could be sliced, and in order to work with the whole period, it is necessary to merge the sets and retain unique cases in the case of the original sets.

Metadata and Preservation

This repository is linked to the OSF-Project (DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/73NDB). This site was updated on a regular basis, see the CHANGELOG.

Storage

The GitHub repository has controlled access with Two-Factor Authentication 2FA with two physical USB security devices (Bastián González-Bustamante, ORCID iD 0000-0003-1510-6820). USB devices issue one-time passwords to generate a cryptographic authentication FIDO2 and U2F.

Software

We used R v4.0.2 -- Taking Off Again and the following packages: dplyr, rtweet, and tidytext. During data gathering in JSON format in 2023, we used R v4.2.2 -- Innocent and Trusting and academictwitteR package.
